Across China: Henan

Reservoir resettlement

At least 100,000 people a year living around the Danjiangkou Reservoir, waterhead of the central route of the South-to-North Water Diversion project, will have to make way for the project's intensified construction, the 21st Century Economic Herald reported last Thursday.

To resettle them as scheduled, housing preparation even continued during the Spring Festival holiday period in Xichuan county, Henan province, where 160 households from the reservoir area are expected to be relocated.
